'Silent Darkness' is a heartfelt ballad that captures the isolation and emotional turmoil experienced during a week-long power outage. This song explores the feelings of vulnerability, solitude, and introspection that arise when modern comforts are stripped away, leaving one to confront their thoughts and fears in the silence of darkness.
(Verse 1)
The lights went out, the world turned grey,
A flicker of hope, then it slipped away.
Seven days of shadows creeping on my soul,
A whisper in the dark, oh, I feel so whole.
(Chorus)
In this silent darkness, I'm all alone,
Searching for a spark, but the fire's blown.
Thoughts like echoes, ringing in my mind,
In this silent darkness, what will I find?
(Verse 2)
The stars above, they shimmer and fade,
A memory of warmth, but the night’s charade.
All the voices lost, they fade into the night,
In this quiet void, there’s no wrong or right.
(Chorus)
In this silent darkness, I'm all alone,
Searching for a spark, but the fire's blown.
Thoughts like echoes, ringing in my mind,
In this silent darkness, what will I find?
(Bridge)
I reach for connection in the cold, empty air,
Longing for solace, for someone who cares.
But the walls close in, as the hours go by,
In this silent darkness, I just wonder why.
(Verse 3)
With every swipe of the blind, I search for the light,
But the weight of the silence turns day into night.
Seven days later, the power’s back on,
But I’ve learned to embrace the silence I’ve drawn.
(Chorus)
In this silent darkness, I'm all alone,
Searching for a spark, but the fire's blown.
Thoughts like echoes, ringing in my mind,
In this silent darkness, what will I find?
(Outro)
So here I stand, in the glow of the night,
A week in the shadows, now I’ll hold on tight.
For even in silence, there’s a part of me free,
In this silent darkness, I've found my melody.
